1. SAFETY inSTRUCTiOnS
WARninG! RiSK OF EXPLOSiVE GASES. Working in the vicinity of a lead acid battery is dangerous because they can
generate explosive gases. It is important to remember that batteries generate explosive gases during normal operation.
WARninG! this equipment contains a sealed, non-spillable lead acid battery. this must be disposed of in accordance with
local regulations.
Read and understand the general safety and operating instructions before use. The following information is intended to help you
keep the product in top working order.
nOTE – The battery in this unit is a consumable item and its ability to accept charge will reduce over time. We will warranty it
against mechanical and electrical defect for a period of one year - this does not cover fair wear and tear.
If the battery is not properly charged before first use, or regularly conditioned, its capacity will diminish. under these circumstances we will
not replace the battery even if it is less than one year old.
You can help prolong the lifecycle of the battery by following a few simple guidelines.
•
Plug in your new roadstart to the mains transformer and make an InItIAL charge lasting 38 hours.
•
Ensure the unit is fully charged before storage.
•
DO nOT leave the roadstart for longer than 2 months without putting it on charge.
•
DO nOT attempt to start a vehicle when the roadstart battery voltage is reduced to less than 7Volts.
•
DO nOT drop or roughly handle the roadstart – this will break or disjoin the battery terminals rendering the battery useless and the
warranty void.
•
DO nOT use any other charger, other than the one supplied, to recharge the battery.
IMPORTANT: Be sure to check the voltage switch of the rs105 is turned to the correct voltage before connecting the cables to the vehicle.

1.1
PERSOnAL PRECAUTiOnS
Ensure there is another person within hearing range, or close
enough to come to your aid should a problem arise, when
working near a lead-acid battery.
Have fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts
skin, clothing or eyes.
Wear safety eye protection and protective clothing. Avoid
touching eyes while working with a battery.
Wash immediately with soap and water if battery acid contacts
skin or clothing. If acid enters eye, flush eye immediately with
cool, clean running water for at least 15 minutes and seek
immediate medical attention.
remove personal metallic items such as rings, bracelets,
necklaces and watches. A lead-acid battery can produce a
short-circuit current high enough to weld a ring or the like to
metal, which may cause severe burns.
